How Life Works Here
Crossley Stone is located in Cannock Chase, near Rugeley, Staffordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 643 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 271 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 173m away. The median property price is £99,200. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 428m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
